Actors have well-researched scripts now: Shabana Azmi
Veteran actor Shabana Azmi feels that the filmmaking process in India has come a long way in India. Talking about more acting workshops and the rising significance of the script, Azmi states, “What’s good about today’s movies is that there are acting workshops organised with intent to bring familiarity between the actors and characters, which is essential for any film.”
“This also helps actors understand the director’s vision in a proper way. Today, actors have well-researched scripts in their hand which wasn’t the case with us, earlier,” Azmi further says, adding, “I always used to feel strange about it, especially working with child actors. The filmmaking process has developed, which I feel, is the best thing that has happened to Indian cinema.”
However, when it comes to the quality of music being churned out of Bollywood, Azmi’s different views. “When I listen to today’s music, especially when it comes to their lyrics, I find it absurd. The quality has gone down, unfortunately.”
Shabana Azmi has appeared in acclaimed films such as Sparsh (1980), Arth (1982), Godmother (1999), and more recently, the 2016 Sonam-K Ahuja starrer, Neerja.
